1 The NOURISHING policy tool A comprehensive policy approach to reduce diet-related NCDs Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, 6 March 2017 Simone Bösch Senior Policy & Public Affairs Manager

2 Overview About World Cancer Research Fund International Our Policy & Public Affairs work o Overview o NOURISHING: Advancing the evidence for policy o Advocacy Summary

3 The World Cancer Research Fund Network American Institute for Cancer Research Washington DC (est. 1982) World Cancer Research Fund UK London (est. 1990) World Cancer Research Fund NL Amsterdam (est.1994) World Cancer Research Fund HK Hong Kong (est.1997) World Cancer Research Fund International (est. 1999) Leads and unifies a network of cancer charities with a global reach, dedicated to the prevention of cancer through diet, weight and physical activity.

4 Our science work on cancer prevention 10 Cancer Prevention Recommendations

5 Cancer preventability estimates Prevention through: healthy diet physical activity healthy weight Mouth, pharynx, larynx USA UK BRAZIL CHINA Oesophagus Lung Stomach Pancreas Gallbladder Liver Colorectum Breast Ovary Endometrium Prostate (advanced) Kidney Total for these cancers Total for all cancers

6 Overview About World Cancer Research Fund International Our Policy & Public Affairs work o Overview o NOURISHING: Advancing the evidence for policy o Advocacy Summary

7 Our main goals 1. The wider implementation of more effective policies to enable individuals to follow our Cancer Prevention Recommendations 2. To move cancer and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) up the international agenda

8 NCD burden 60% of global deaths (38 million) 74% of NCD deaths in LMICs (28 million) 42% of NCD deaths before age 70 (16 million) 82% of premature NCD deaths in LMICs (13.1 million) 72% of global NCD deaths are due to cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and diabetes (27.2 million) Source: WHO

9 Overweight & obesity burden 41 million children under billion adults 45% of countries face double burden of disease 2 20% of health costs around the world go to obesity treatment Global economic impact: $2 trillion/year Source: 2016 Global Nutrition Report

10 Our key priorities 1. Advancing the evidence for policy 2. Building relationships with our target audience Official Relations status with WHO (2016) Consultation responses 3. Engaging with other civil society organisations 4. Communicating our work globally Policy briefs Letters of support

11 Overview About World Cancer Research Fund International Our Policy & Public Affairs work o Overview o NOURISHING: Advancing the evidence for policy o Advocacy Summary

12 Evidence for policy 1. Where is action needed and what policy options exist? NOURISHING framework 2. What policies are implemented? NOURISHING policy database 3. What is the evidence that policies work? Evaluations, Policy Advisory Group Evidence gaps (research needs)

13 1. Policy areas

14 NOURISHING framework Aim: formalise a comprehensive package of policies to promote healthy diets and reduce obesity and NCDs Target audience Researchers - To identify the evidence available for different policies, identify research gaps and act as a resource for policy monitoring & evaluation Policymakers - To identify where action is needed to promote healthy diets - Select and tailor options suitable to different populations - Assess if an approach is sufficiently comprehensive Civil society organisations - To monitor what governments are doing around the world, benchmark progress and hold them to account

15 2. Implemented policies 390 implemented policies across 125 countries; 70 evaluations; 65 US policies

16 N Nutrition label standards & regulations Calorie labelling in chain restaurants (local; federal law from May 17 onwards) O Offer healthy food and set standards in public institutions Arkansas, DC, Florida, Indiana &Texas: bans on vending machines in elementary schools U Use economic tools to address food affordability NYC Health Bucks, and Philly Food Bucks US food policy examples S Set incentives and rules to create a healthier retail environment Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI) to provide financial and/or other types of assistance to attract healthier retail outlets to underserved areas H Harness the supply chain NYC & MA: nutrition standards for all food purchased/served by public entities G Give nutrition education and skills Colorado Department of Health: nutrition training for catering managers in participating restaurants and canteens to encourage healthier menu options

17 Updating the database Two-step process: 1. Sourcing and reviewing policy actions 2. Verification process with in-country specialists

18 Inclusion criteria for policies 1. Must have a public health goal: reduction of obesity and/or nutrition-related NCDs through promoting healthy diets 2. Must be a government policy action 3. Must be implemented 4. Must fit one of NOURISHING s 10 policy areas

19 3. Evidence that policies work Evidence is vital in the development and implementation of policy actions What evidence is needed? How should the evidence be framed so that it can be most effectively used by policymakers? What outputs would be most useful and how could they be most effectively communicated?

20 Our Policy Advisory Group Launched April 2015 Advises us on meeting the evidence needs of the policymaking community, e.g. recommended formalising methodology to update database and including evaluations Provides insight into a range of challenges associated with policy development and implementation in different contexts & countries

21 Evidence gaps (research needs) NOURISHING contains many more policies implemented in high-income countries, i.e. Europe, North America, Australia Ø How can effective food policies be implemented in lowand middle-income countries? Enabling environment must be given, e.g. rule of law, infrastructure Ø How can policy coherence be achieved? The 70 evaluations are mostly from high-income countries, and look at policies re labelling, taxation, school food and advertising restrictions. More evidence on policy is needed: - Successful policy implementation (process evaluations) - Impact of food policies (impact evaluations) - Evaluations from low- and middle-income countries - Evaluations of food systems and behaviour change policies

22 Overview About World Cancer Research Fund International Our Policy & Public Affairs work o Overview o NOURISHING: Advancing the evidence for policy o Advocacy Summary

23 Engage with civil society Provide technical expertise on food policy to civil society organisations (credibility via CUP & Official Relations status) Participate in coalitions on UK and international level, in particular bridging the gap to undernutrition, to raise awareness of importance of prevention and food policy focused on obesity and diet-related NCDs Organise events to inform policymakers on the importance of food policy and prevention, and hold them accountable for commitments made (e.g. side event on childhood malnutrition at the 2016 World Health Assembly; event on malnutrition in all its forms at Westminster) Support initiatives of other civil society organisations, in particular in low- and middle-income countries

24 Policy briefs

25 Realities of advocacy (I) Recent examples Economics: N4G fails due to economic collapse in Brazil where should the International Coalition for Advocacy on Nutrition (ICAN) go from here? Industry: UK sugary drinks tax survives industry attacks because of concerted civil society consultation response Politics: due to Brexit, DFID s nutrition strategy is delayed and lacks support Marketing: overweight, obesity, NCDs are hard to sell having a celebrity champion like chef Jamie Oliver helps!

26 Realities of advocacy (II) Differences to undernutrition No silver bullet to solve obesity and NCD burden Negative outcomes take long to manifest Positive impact of policies/interventions also takes long to manifest NCDs are not visible ( silent killer ) No social justice agenda / public not emotionally involved Complex issue to explain to policymakers and the public Historic burden of individual responsibility Nanny state rhetoric

27 Overview About World Cancer Research Fund International Our Policy & Public Affairs work o Overview o NOURISHING: Advancing the evidence for policy o Advocacy Summary

28 Summary More evidence on policy is needed, in particular on: - successful policy implementation (process evaluations) - impact of implemented food policies (impact evaluations) - a more diverse range of implemented policies (type & geography) Academics need to conduct high-quality evaluations More linkages to other sectors are needed to achieve policy coherence We all need to step out of our public health silo Reframing of NCDs is necessary to achieve sense of urgency and increased political will Creation of a social justice movement necessary Academics for advocacy needed
